Make sure to get there for the opening bands since you already bent over and paid for this shizzy.

MAKE SURE TO GET THE F OUTTA THAT PLACE BEFORE NICKELBACK STARTS, THEY ROCK WAY TOO HARD!!

I saw Nickelback a while ago when they first released their Silver Side Up album. It was my first concert and I'd say it was a good show. I'm sure you'll enjoy yourself.

it's hilarious how many people jump on the hate bandwagon.

but that's expected, seeing as this is ATOT.

I was gonna post that. :(

so was i

Nickleback owned the crowd with the middle finger and rolled out.

if that's what's considered nickelback ownage, that's sad. that's like reverse ownage...

the crowd WANTED nickelback to leave the stage, middle finger and all...

they will each get about 45mins to an hour...so figure if the first act goes on at 7 the show should start at around 9.

Then again..I would sell your tickets and not go see nickelback. Going to see them as your first concert will skew your concept of what a concert should be. Its not suppose to be a pile of crap.

that's your opinion.

i'm sure some of my favorite bands(sevendust and the faint) would not hold interest to most of the users here, but thats my opinion.

Since you're probably already at the concert (hopefully), I hope you had a good time. :)

Sounds like Three Days Grace and Breaking Benjamin are opening up for them. I would have been there at 7:00. LOL

I'm going to the concert on the 18th, but I'm there for Breaking Benjamin. To me Phobia was the best album of 2006.

a mosh pit at a nickelback concert is not a mosh pit....

I went to a system of a down concert once. I was in a mosh pit this guy was thrown out of it with his elbow bleeding all over. He took his finger, got some blood on it, wiped it under his eyes like a football player would and jumped back in. I decided that maybe I should move on to the next one...

No no, your mistaken. That's just the crowd trying to get out.

no..i am sure they do..i mean every concert with a rock band..or something claiming to be a rock band is gonna have a mosh pit. Its just that the level of awesome and brutalness varies. I am guessing its a pretty lame mosh pit at the nb concert.

System was my most brutal
Then it was Disturbed
Old green day had a pretty good one
and flogging molly is fun with all the irish drunk people.

:D


Biggest pit I ever saw was at a Monsters of Rock concert in Tampa. Metallica was the final band and with all the bands they had (the previous 2 bands played near normal concert length sets) from start till finish was 10+ hours. Never seen so many people getting stretchered out. Most probably just dehydration, but still a memorable time.
